Port Arthur – from timber camp, to a prison at the forefront of criminal reform methods, now a world-class tourist destination. Melissa from Port Arthur Historic Site Tours tells us all about this wonderfully spooky location.

Many people know of the tragic eruption in 79 AD that buried the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum under huge avalanches of volcanic ash and debris, preserving them and the eruption’s victims for 2000 years. Few, however, would know that the Roman navy attempted to evacuate people affected by the eruption or its important role in the success of the Roman Empire.

Will tells us about the amazing Escape from Pompeii exhibition on now at the Australian Maritime Museum.
